With more than six weeks until showtime, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is already beginning to prime its promotional pump for UFC 243: “Whittaker vs. Adesanya,” a blockbuster ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) that is scheduled to take place inside Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on Oct. 6, 2019 (but airing stateside on Sat., Oct. 5).
Local heroes and bitter rivals, Middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and interim 185-pound titleholder Israel Adesanya, will hold court tonight (Weds., Aug. 14, 2019) at UFC 243’s kickoff press conference to discuss their upcoming title unification bout, as well as mean mug for the media in attendance one more time … but certainly not the last.
